LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN

ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE

DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS

YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND

JURY TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION TITLED

“PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.

Warranty Laws

The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer

goods:

Ţ The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et

seq],

Ţ The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C

§§2101 et seq], and

Ţ The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission

Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703].

A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that the

product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair, or

replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies include

damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service contract or

for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for

some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not

preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]

1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:

LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed subscriber unit

and its enclosed accessories will be free from defects in material and

workmanship, according to the following terms and conditions:

(1) The limited warranty for the product extends for TWELVE (12)

MONTHS beginning on the date of purchase of the product with

valid proof of purchase, or absent valid proof of purchase, FIFTEEN

(15) MONTHS from date of manufacture as determined by the unit's

manufacture date code.

3

(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the

product and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent

purchaser/end user.

(3) This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the product

during the warranty period as long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska,

Hawaii, U.S. Territories and Canada.

(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at

the time of shipment and, therefore, shall not be covered under these

limited warranty terms.

(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide information to

reasonably prove the date of purchase.

(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the

Customer Service Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of

shipping the product back to the consumer after the completion of

service under this limited warranty.

2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

(1) Defects or damages resulting from use of the product in other than

its normal and customary manner.

(2) Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal conditions,

improper storage, exposure to moisture or dampness, unauthorized

modifications, unauthorized connections, unauthorized repair, misuse,

neglect, abuse, accident, alteration, improper installation, or other acts

which are not the fault of LG, including damage caused by shipping,

blown fuses, spills of food or liquid.

(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in

material or workmanship.

(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by

consumer of the alleged defect or malfunction of the product during

the applicable limited warranty period.

(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.

(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or

implied either in fact or by operations of law, statutory or otherwise,

including, but not limited to any implied warranty of marketability or

fitness for a particular use.

4

(7) Damage resulting from use of non LG approved accessories.

(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are

scratched or damaged due to normal customer use.

(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.

(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.

(11) Consumables (such as fuses).

3. WHAT LG WILL DO:

LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase

price of any unit that is covered under this limited warranty. LG may

choose at its option to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned,

refurbished or new units or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not

re-install or back-up any data, applications or software that you have

added to your phone. It is therefore recommended that you back-up any

such data or information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid the

permanent loss of such information.

4. STATE LAW RIGHTS:

No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION

OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY

OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS

WARRANTY HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF

THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER

DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE

OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF

ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED

WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.

Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or

consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This

warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights

which vary from state to state.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL

BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND

NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION

MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY

TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG

Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates,

and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,

predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to

“dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any

kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation,

ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory)

arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance

of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. You and LG

agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on

an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute

between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute

involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically,

without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall

not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative

6

action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in

small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought

on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either

you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration

will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and

will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer

Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated

(referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in

this section. The AAA Rules are available online at

www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for

arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner

described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written

demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc.Attn: Legal Department-

Arbitration1000 Sylvan AvenueEnglewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a

conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section,

the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision

is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on

the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are

for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and

enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the

dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms

of this provision.

Governing Law: The law of the state of your residence shall govern this

Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that

such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon

receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all

arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in

damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by

the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all

AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated

in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you

prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and

7

expenses to the extent required by applicable law. If the arbitrator finds

either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand

is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the

standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the

payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such

a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed

by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek

attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may

choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1)

documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing,

or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your

claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the

AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location

within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree

to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you

opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an

arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later

than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s

purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.

com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-

2973.You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a)

your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased;

(c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID

or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can

be found (i) on the product box; (ii) on a label on the back of the product

beneath the battery, if the battery is removable; or (iii) from the settings

menu via the following path: Settings > General tab > About phone >

Status).You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the

manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form

of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the

8

coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to

enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product

and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the

arbitration provision described above.

Anti-Theft Guide

You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's

been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example,

if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google

account or screen lock information can use the device.

All you need to make sure your device is protected is:

Ţ Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a

screen lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu

unless your screen is unlocked.

Ţ Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but

you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup

process until your Google account information is entered again.

After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or

enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.

This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.

NOTE

Ţ Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your

device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account

information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all

after performing the factory reset.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the

United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted

an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those

guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both

U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies

with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept

0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure

requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm)

must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.

For Your Safety 87

Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic

components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot

maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance between the user’s body and the

back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF

exposure limits.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or

modifications to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone,

void your warranty and/or violate FCC regulations.

Don't use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could

cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement

antenna.

continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)

and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and

procedures for wireless phones. The FDA issued a website publication on

health issues related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific

community at large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence does

not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from

cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community

does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in

knowledge. That research is being conducted around the world and FDA

continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint

FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index,

select Cell Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free

at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered

into a cooperative research and development agreement through which

additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC issued its own

website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that

proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other

problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication

is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ cellular.html or through the FCC at

(888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety

guidelines for wireless phones in the United States. Before a wireless

phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the

manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits

established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific

Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption

of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone

transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since

1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless phones

not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual

SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less than the

reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to

call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of

the phone to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. For

more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at

http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins

or visit the Cellular Telecom munications Industry Association website at

http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also

wish to contact the manufacturer of your phone.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take

to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.

For Your Safety 89

You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,

as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC

website states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones

for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of

RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF

emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the

phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use,

then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones

marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless

of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either

configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if

you use your wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with an

antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow

your wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of

your phone.

Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show

a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.”

The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by

other national governments have advised that children be discouraged

from using wireless phones at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from

the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December

2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no

evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill

effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children

was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any

health hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.

dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot,

Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports

on mobile phones and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and

http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to

reduce their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s

wireless phone use.

This model phone meets the government's requirements for exposure

to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits

for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal

Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are

part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF

energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards

that were developed by independent scientific organizations through

periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards

include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all

persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR

limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using

standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone

For Your Safety 92

transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency

bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,

the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the

maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple

power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in

general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower

the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested

and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by

the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are

performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the

body) as required by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR values are:

* Head: 0.97 W/kg

* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.03 W/kg

(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon

available accessories and FCC requirements).

While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and

at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe

exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone

with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF

emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with

the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://

www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID ZNFK330. Additional

information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the

Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://

www.ctia.org/.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of

tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give

additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in

measurements.

For Your Safety 93

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations

for Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of

wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC

Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-

aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to

telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.

While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing

aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or

whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference

they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for

wireless phones, to assist hearing device users to find phones that may

be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.

Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on

the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's

hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be

vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone

successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way

to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely

to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not

labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely

to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not

labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or

hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings

mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.

The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together.

For Your Safety 94

A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is

considered for best use.

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the

wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal

M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while

using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage”

in this context is defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable for normal

operation.

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark

is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are

recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions

(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC

Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is

maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth® and WLAN

components must be disabled during a call.

For Your Safety 95

Caution:

Avoid potential hearing loss.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common

cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests

that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and

cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may

lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use

of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other

wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in

some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound

and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing

loss and other potential hearing problems varies.

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies

depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and

the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations

when using any portable audio device:

Ţ Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume

at which you can hear adequately.

Ţ When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear

the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can

hear what you are listening to.

Ţ Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you

choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use

noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental

noise.

Ţ Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less

time is required before your hearing could be affected.

Ţ Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such

as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary

hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

For Your Safety 96

Ţ Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you

experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience

any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio

device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless

handheld phones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter

and receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF)

signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)

adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless

phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards

previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)

* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation

Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations

of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists,

engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,

and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI

Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those

standards).

For Your Safety 97

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and

may violate FCC regulations.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact

with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate

at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,

certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals

from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a

minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld

wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the

pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent

research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

Ţ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their

pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

Ţ Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

Ţ Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential

for interference;

Ţ Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

For Your Safety 98

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the

event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider

(or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer

of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external

RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted

in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may

use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or

its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the

manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF

your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when

in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all

signs and instructions.

For Your Safety 99

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could

cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always

marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline

stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage

facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or

butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain,

dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either

installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in

the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly

installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Part 15.19 statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

Part 15.21 statement

Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the

manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate

the equipment.

Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

For Your Safety 100

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Ţ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Ţ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Ţ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices

and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems

are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that

wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of

Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used.

They also emit very low levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas

high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure

to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known

adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not

found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some

biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by

additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in

reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent

results.

For Your Safety 105

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting

consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold,

as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has

authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such

a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones

to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the

phones so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,

the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

Ţ Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the

type emitted by wireless phones;

Ţ Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to

the user that is not necessary for device function; and

Ţ Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best

possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on

human health.

The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies

that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure

coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to

this working group:

Ţ National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Ţ Environmental Protection Agency

Ţ Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Ţ National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency

working group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in

the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety

questions about wireless phones.

For Your Safety 106

The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone

networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power

than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people

get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than

those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the

subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?

The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phones with

built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types

of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable Radio Frequency

(RF) energy because of the short distance between the phone and the

user’s head.

These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were

developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety

agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user,

the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure

decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called

“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone

wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus

produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many

studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal

experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting

results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal

studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate

the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the

studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had

been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so

as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.

Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day.

These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people

use wireless phones, so we do not know with certainty what the results

For Your Safety 107

of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies

have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies

investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones

and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,

tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None

of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects

from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can

answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of

phone use in these studies was around three years.

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from

wireless phones poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people

actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are

needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few

years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological

studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,

but ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about

some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between

the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors

develop — if they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation of

epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF

exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect

this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which

model of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health

effects of wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with

groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority

animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the

effects of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization

International Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in

1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a

For Your Safety 108

detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of

new research programs around the world. The project has also helped

develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.

The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association

(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement

(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the

scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,

and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through

contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include

both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA

will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the

context of the latest research developments around the world.

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I

can get by using my wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines

in consultation with the FDA and the other federal health and safety

agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless phones is set at

a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).

The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National

Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit

takes into consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues

that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below levels

known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the

RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website

(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC

identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF

exposure level in the online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy

coming from wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing

a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy

For Your Safety 109

exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with

the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The

standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless

Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the

first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF

is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test method

uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR

test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of

measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is

the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by

the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or

milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a

wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency

energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not

know that there is — it is probably very small. But if you are concerned

about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to

minimize your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a

key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount

of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If you must

conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could

place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since

the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you

could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or

use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific

data does not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you

are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use

measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from

wireless phone use.

10. What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless

phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to

For Your Safety 110

lower exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described

above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones.

Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance

between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that

children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example,

the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing

such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence

exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.

Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly

precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health

hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can interact with some

electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test

method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test

method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the

Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint

effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups,

was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to

ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless

phone EMI.

The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless

phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard

specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids

and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a

“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This

standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible

interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be

found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference

and work to resolve the problem.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas

where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while

driving, please observe the following:

Ţ Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;

Ţ Use hands-free operation, if available;

Ţ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving

conditions or the law require it.

10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by

voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies

the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.

When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your

wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense

and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial

and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take

advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic

redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you

For Your Safety 112

can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the

road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free

wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you

choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a

speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available

to you.

3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where

you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get

an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail

answer it for you.

4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or

situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving;

if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather

conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy

traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the

road.

5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are

reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while

driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is common

sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are

reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby

vehicles.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are

not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before

you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you

may be stopped at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. But

if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only a few

numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be

distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not

mix; they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the

wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving

For Your Safety 113

and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to

divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of

the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in

dangerous situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only three

numbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of

fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s

a free call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless

phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in

your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other

serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local

emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency

assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter

while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to

merit a call for emergency services. But you can still use your wireless

phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no

serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where

no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call

roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.

The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use

your mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that

you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations

regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or

otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use his or her phone

while operating a vehicle.
